Buy this photo on Getty Images : Getty Images Bahla Fort (Qal'at Bahla) is one of four historic fortresses situated at the foot of the Djebel Akhdar highlands in Oman. It was built in the 13th and 14th centuries, when the oasis of Bahla was prosperous under the control of the Banu Nabhan tribe. The fort's ruined adobe walls and towers rise some 165 feet above its sandstone foundations. Nearby to the southwest is the Friday Mosque with a 14th-century sculpted mihrab. The fort was not restored or conserved before 1987, and had fallen into a parlous state, with parts of the walls collapsing each year in the rainy season. The fort became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. It was included in the List of World Heritage in Danger from 1988. Restoration works began in the 1990s, and nearly $9m were spent by the Omani government from 1993 to 1999. It remained covered with scaffolding and closed to tourists for many years. It was removed from the list of endangered sites in 2004. Submitted 09/02/2015 Accepted 06/03/2015 Published: - Kunth Verlag GmbH & Co. KG (Germany) 31-Aug-2016
Leaving Muscat behind and driving towards the Hajar mountain range sees an exciting change in scenery and a much deeper dive into history. What has long been referred to as Oman’s Interior is a picturesque region steeped in tradition and reflective of the centuries of imam rulings who contested the Sultan’s authority in Muscat. It’s one of the most visited parts of Oman, partly due to its proximity to the capital but also to the presence of three of the country’s most famous forts, some splendidly verdant oasis, crumbling villages and mountain ranges rising up amidst all this. Bahla Fort – the biggest fortress in Oman. The best launch pad to explore the region is Nizwa, one of the oldest cities in Oman and the long-time capital of the Interior. Famous for its handicrafts and silver, a stop at the souk is a must even if you don’t intend to buy anything. A cute little square stacked full of pottery is only the beginning of the browsing possibilities, shops all around offering heaps of dusty jewellery, battered old riffles and daggers, dates, perfume, amulets, etc An older section of the souk, the East Souq, was definitely more up my alley… […]
